[The Human Chronicles 16] • Scorched Earth

What happens when the Adam Cain—the Alien with an Attitude—gets really pissed off?

Hint: It ain’t pretty.

The scorched earth in the title doesn’t refer to the Human’s homeworld. Rather it describes the path of death and destruction that Adam Cain and his team burn on their way from Earth to Juir, on a mission of revenge for the killing of one of his closest friends and to rescue those held captive on the distant planet. The aliens may have thought Adam was dangerous before. Well they haven’t seen anything yet.

This is a no-holes-barred action adventure, devoid of PC sensitivities, and giving full display to the animal side of Human nature. The bottom line: The aliens pissed off the wrong guy this time. Now in the face of overwhelming odds, Adam and his team fight through every obstacle and vanquish every foe on their way to victory. But victory won’t come without a price this time…and a price almost too high to pay.
